Reasons to love France
You recently asked what people like most about France – so here’s my list:
1. The space in the countryside where I live and on the roads.
2. The courtesy given to cyclists by motorists, in Brittany at least.
3. The way that everyone greets you in the local café / bar with a handshake or la bise, never too much trouble.
4. The excellent health service.
